The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises set out the principles and
standards for responsible business conduct expected by the governments of the
Netherlands and 45 other countries from multinational enterprises to observe.
The Guidelines help companies deal with matters such as responsible supply chain
management, human rights, child labour and environment.

By applying the OECD Guidelines, you can increase corporate transparency and
reduce risks. As a result, your customers, financiers, shareholders, and society
in general will have greater confidence in your enterprise. Companies that say
no to child labour, corruption and pollution in their supply chains find it
easier to obtain financing, are eligible for government contracts and are less
susceptible to pressure from society at large.

OECD Working Party on Responsible Business Conduct elects @cd_kaufmann as new Chair. The Dutch NCP congratulates Christine and looks forward to working together on effective NCP's. #oecdrbc@OECD_BizFin
